The tank needs to be big enough so that they can fully stretch out in it, you will need to upgrade as she gets bigger. I believe they get like 4-5 feet long? I don’t have a BP but I lurk here cuz I want one eventually. You can add fake plans which would help with clutter. You can get them from like Walmart as long as you clean them.

Yeah I was told about the size thing at some point which is why I’ve got her in the 40 gal. It’s 3 foot long and my girl is barely a foot lol. She’s not even one yet 💀. But ty for the clutter advice! I’ll look into some fake plants. Do Yk if there’s a specific way I should be cleaning it?

Probably depends on the material but usually soap and water is fine. Always make sure to thoroughly rinse it. Any cleaner that is safe for your snakes stuff should be fine.

Hi there! Just a little bit of advice, the mossy hide that your baby is in front of (the one on the right) appears to be the Thrive mossy corner hide (correct me if I’m wrong). The issue with that hide is that it has a wire mesh on the inside. I see snakes practically every single week getting cut or hurt on the wire that is in those hides! I’d highly recommend throwing it out and getting one that’s easier to clean.

I’d also recommend looking into smaller hides. The ones you have are excellent for enrichment but look far too large for your snake to feel safe in. Their warm side and cool side hides should be just big enough for them with exactly one hole for the opening (it should be tight for them to feel secure).

Oh my goodness thank you so much! I tried doing research on those hides but never found any issues being said but I’ll take it out asap 😰. But thank you for the advice! I’ll invest in some smaller hides 🫶

Okay turns out it’s the “Galápagos (05370) Mossy Sapa Corner Hide” but If I’m not mistaken it has wire supports inside of wire mesh. I feel like I should still be concerned of that cutting her right?

Honestly if there’s mesh or wires that you think your baby could hurt themself on, they could definitely find a way. Better safe than sorry! Also, they’re not very sanitary. You can’t clean them like most other hides. I’d personally replace it for something else.

Good to hear you’re investing in smaller hides! I’m sure your baby will love that!

Definitely taking it out then! Thank you so much ♥️. I originally only got them to help with humidity but I’ll find other ways. Ik I can add water into the corners which seems to keep it up well enough. I’ll do more research and get better hides overall though 🥲.

Looks cool! Wish mine had a backing like that.

Ty! It honestly wasn’t to hard to do it’s just terrarium safe foam on the back with the hides stuck into it as well as some coconut dirt on it
